Love it!

I also hear Cave Johnson yelling in my head, good times in deed.

Yeah they want to make it clear that they laid off people and he should not get rewarded for it, however I think we all read ‘thanks to the layoffs he could increase his pay’

I don’t get it tbh, someone enlighten me please.

You can always say: ‘I’m reading a book or watch series x atm, why what are you up to / why do you wanna know?’

Choose a book or series you know by heart and you always have an alibi.

If they are the kind who asks are you free on day x? Without stating a reason ask ‘why do you wanna know?’ Or say ‘I think I’ve got plans that day why?’

The takeaway here is, don’t fall in traps like that. Be smarter about your answer.

Probably only in the same way cartoons made kids belief that gravity only takes affect when one looks to the audience. Most often, most kids won’t transfer any of that to reality but we all had that one kid at our school who was reaaaaaally close to do the Naruto run.

The US has twice as many parties as China. If that ain’t a major difference then I don’t what is /s

That’s just depressing.

We are all built differently, my dad still plays to this day the settlers 4. Not even the history edition, but the one I installed (from CD!) for him a decade or more ago. Don’t know how he does it.

Why does everyone assume books equals novels. The books loaned might have been text books or even journals.

I find it extremely unsettling, this tactic. It could have hit anyone and I think it should be condemned. Just imagine the outcry if Russia should have done that in the Ukraine.

You are like two steps away from turning into a bakery.

To be fair, they do use the same language often enough when reporting about police shootings. Which does not make it any better though.

Same, never heard of it before this post.

Imagine the carnage, if the headline was correct the way you read it first…

The ‘I’m sorry’ stuff gets even more on my nerves when I set 3 base rules for the whole session and it has forgotten about them in the very next prompt.

All the time on science memes, try going back to ‘best of all time’. It can also make modding on mobile quite a pain, when you as a mod can’t see the post. Though the failed to load media is, what I have heard not due to the app itself but that the link in the post is broken and the app just has not indexed the post yet. Which is why other apps may show the post correctly because they indexed it before the link broke. However I can not remember where I read that. So it might be completely false.

In a sense - yes it is good to ‘be like everyone else’. Now before you all downvote, ask yourself what do we consider normal? When becomes a behaviour problematic?

we assume behaviour falls on a bell curve. At the extreme ends is behaviour that’s is considered to be ‘abnormal’ as in not normal and in the in-between is what we consider normal and what most people do. Abnormal does not mean bad or detrimental to one’s health however; it often sparks a negative reaction from others.

In line with this is the ‘insult’ to be extra unique, different or special would be not normal because most people are not at the end of the bell curve.

If we apply this to mental health: you may feel depressed at times. Doesn’t mean anything but the more days you feel that way, the further to the end of the bell curve do you move. At some point you are an outlier and we can safely say: you have a major depression. Now this is simplified but it gets the point across.

In other areas it is better to not be extremely unique, too. Think of school, in my experience being different is not a problem but being extremely different to your peers will have negative impact on you. They might pick on you or outright ignore you. This is not justifying this it is sadly how it often goes.
